Which statement about EMI reporting channels is true?

• A. All EMI is reported through JSIR online (JSIRO)
• B. EMI reporting is optional
• C. No central EMI repository exists
• D. EMI data is not shared

Answer: (A)

All EMI reporting should flow through a single, controlled channel so data is consistent, traceable, and actionable. In this case, every EMI event is reported via the JSIR online system (JSIRO). Using this online portal creates a centralized, authoritative record with standard fields and timestamps, which makes it possible to aggregate incidents, perform analyses, and quickly alert the right people for mitigation or response.

This centralized, mandated path also means the data is accessible to authorized users across units, enabling coordinated action rather than isolated, duplicative reporting. Relying on other channels would risk missing incidents and breaking the audit trail, which is why optional reporting isn’t correct. The existence of a central repository is inherent in the JSIR online system, and sharing EMI data with appropriate stakeholders is a built-in feature, not something that's avoided.
